Winter holidays for solo travellers

Travelling solo doesn’t have to stop you from diving into the winter activities you love. Even better: you get to choose your favourites without compromise! Our trips encourage you to try whichever snow sport your heart desires, from husky sledding to aurora hunting – and even scaling the tallest mountain in North Africa. There’s always the chance to meet other people on the trail if you fancy, with the option to sign up to group activities. Plus, you’ll always be supported by experienced instructors and guides who’ll smooth the way for frosty fun.

Don’t believe the hype that Lapland is just for families – our solo-friendly trips skim past the Santa experiences and straight to the wilderness hotels, saunas and outdoor activities that celebrate wilderness culture. After all, this is Sápmi – an original term for the Arctic region that includes the Indigenous Sámi who live here. We’ll give you the chance to feast over crackling kota fires, snowshoe around frozen lakes, meet reindeer herders, and track wildlife. Sunset comes early in winter, but that’s also when some of the most exciting activities begin – heading out with guides who know the best Northern Lights viewpoints.

Many animals are easier to spot in winter, thanks to a daily carpet of fresh snow that reveals their rambles. Follow the parallel patter of wolf prints, admire the snow-dusted antlers of a munching moose, and look for the birds of prey whose shadows are exaggerated by the low winter sun. Plus, some animals aren’t just easier to spot in winter – they’re abundant. In the Norwegian fjords, orcas arrive to hunt herring; hop aboard our sailing trips to spy them. Our holidays give you the best chance of sightings by placing you in the company of brilliant guides who are passionate about protecting the wilderness and wildlife within.
